GALLANT 14 Tesaglitazar vs. Metformin and Fenofibrate - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	AstraZeneca
Information provided by:	AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00261352

Purpose

This is a 24-week study to determine the lipid metabolic effects, safety, and tolerability of tesaglitazar compared with metformin and metformin in combination with fenofibrate in patients with type 2 diabetes and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Improvement in dyslipidemia will be evaluated. The study comprises a 2-week enrollment period, 6-week run-in and a 24-week randomized, double blind, parallel group, multi-center, active controlled (metformin with or without fenofibrate) treatment period and a 3-week follow-up. From visit 2 (run-in), all patients will receive a standardized dose of statin (rosuvastatin)

Official Title:	A 24-Week Randomised, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Multi-Centre, Active-Controlled (Metformin or Metformin Combined With Fenofibrate) Study to Evaluate the Lipid Metabolic Effects, Safety and Tolerability of Tesaglitazar Therapy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Low HDL-Cholesterol on a Fixed Background Therapy With a Statin

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

The change in HDL-C from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Changes in the following variables from baseline to the end of the randomized treatment period:
Lipid and lipoprotein variables (triglycerides [TG], non-HDL-C, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], lipoprotein particle size and concentration, free fatty acid, apolipoprotein [Apo] AI, Apo B, Apo CIII)
Responder analyses for HDL-C, TG, and non-HDL-C according to pre-specified values
The proportion of patients reaching pre-specified target levels for HDL-C, TG, and non-HDL-C
Risk markers for cardiovascular disease (C-reactive protein, insulin, homeostasis model assessment, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/LDL-C ratio, Apo B/Apo AI ratio)
Central obesity (waist/hip ratio)
Pharmacokinetics of tesaglitazar
Safety and tolerability of tesaglitazar by assessment of adverse events, laboratory values, electrocardiogram, pulse, blood pressure, hypoglycemic events, body weight, cardiac evaluation, and physical examination
